✖ PLAYER INFORMATION ✖ Medium-Heavy Roleplayer from the Eastern Timezone (EST). When it comes to RP Romance I'm pretty hesitant beyond one of the people I'm currently dating that still plays, due to one too many incidents that have just gone pretty badly. It would take getting to know the other person pretty well OOC before I'd consider allowing things to progress that direction IC. Largely, Rai's personality currently makes her adverse to romantic and sexual overtures, though that may slowly change with RP that's going on - but it was sort of a protection method against romantic/sensual RP. However, if you believe your character's personality clicks with Rai, please contact me privately about the possibility of moving towards a romantic involvement. You can send a message via Tumblr, the RPC's private messages, or request my Discord via either of the prior. There must be a clear separation of IC and OOC at all times. A lot of what caused the above was due to there not being a separation of IC and OOC. That goes for more than just romance too. Rai's a pretty volatile character a lot of the time, but just because she might dislike - or even hate - your character does not mean that I as a player have those feelings for you as a player. Please don't take any of her snarkiness, underhanded tactics, or angry behaviour personally. Personal RP Limits: ■ Do: Approach for RP if my RP tag in game is up, as it means I'm actively up for RP; if my RP tag isn't up and you'd like to RP, send me a tell and ask if I'm up for it - I might be able to RP pretty quick even if I'm not actively in character. I'm also up for mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. ■ Ask: about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. ■ Don't: ask, beg, or try and force permanent character death or rape plots.

PERSONALITY

L I K E S ■ Technology. Since childhood, Rai has been an avid enthusiast of technology, studying it to an extent that was far beyond what was considered acceptable for her homeland, which lead to something of ostracization and pariahhood for her. ■ Science. As well as technology, she has been interested in science as well, also taking her studies to a level beyond what was acceptable in her homeland, which played apart in her isolation as a child. ■ Magic. This was a far more acceptable interest where Rai grew up, and lead to no end of frustration for those around her, as Rai was naturally gifted at the magical arts, and while she did have interest in magic, she also had far too much interest in science, technology, and how to make the three work together. Despite the fact that there were a number of adults in her life that were trying to move her down a path that focused solely on her magical aptitude, Rai still loves it as much as her technological and scientific pursuits. ■ Airships. Of course, a love of technology and science seems to lead to an appreciation for airships, however, eventually Rai became involved with the airship pirates out in the Sea of Clouds, so her love of the wonders has transformed since she first was introduced to them as a young girl - her airship, a mixture of different styles, holds a measure of freedom, and she often uses it to escape the pressures of her life for at least a few hours. ■ Guns. Another item that came from her love of technology and science, it turns out that all of Rai's guns lack ammunition, and don't really need aetherometers - they use focusing crystals instead. Marriages of magic and technology in a slightly different fashion, those who know her often question which Rai loves more - guns or airships - as she has quite a collection of both. ■ Trait. Text.

D I S L I K E S ■ Stupidity. Rai has a low tolerance for wilful ignorance, which often is what stupidity actually is. She also considers it to be an unwillingness to learn, when the opportunity presents itself, and the unwillingness to learn from one's mistakes. She often claims to have a "low tolerance for stupid", and frequently will simply give up on people who refuse to rise above their current level of mindfulness and knowledge. ■ Restrictions. Part of the reason her company operates out of Limsa Lominsa - and is seeking to relocate to Hingashi - is that Rai dislikes what she finds to be arbitrary restrictions being placed upon her, especially if they get in the way of her work or research. While many believe that she places some sort of insane restrictions upon herself, due to her seeming lack of emotions, it is in fact quite the opposite - Rai has very little in the way of restrictions upon herself, and none too many that she places upon those in her company. ■ Bureaucracy. Although it often doles out the restrictions, Rai despises the red tape that institutions tend to create, thus often leaving her at odds with the Alliance of Grand Companies, and the individual Grand Companies themselves. While technically holding rank within the Maelstrom, it was forced upon her by the high brass across several conflicts within Eorzea, all as part of commandeering the resources the company had - particularly their airships during the war in Ishgard. Such bureaucracy has left an even worst taste in Rai's mouth, and leaves her trying to distance herself and her company from it even further. ■ Grand Companies. Not just for the bureaucracy and their restrictions, but also due to having been a sky pirate and her own boss, Rai just can't abide by anyone who tries to control her even if they have the best intentions for the world. ■ Most Garleans. Largely for the same reasons she dislikes the Grand Companies, Rai by and large dislikes the Garleans, though she's come to understand there are different factions within the Empire, so not all of the Garleans are of the same mindset; she was well aware of this before most of those outside the Empire, due to her relationship with a Garlean exile, however tracking the shifts between the factions' grip on the hearts and minds of the peoples within the Empire has always been difficult, so Rai simply distrusts and dislikes most Garleans she meets until they prove otherwise worthy. ■ Trait.

S T R E N G T H ■ Fearless. Some call it a strength, others a weakness, however Ra doesn't ever seem to be afraid of anything, unwavering even when she's faced with certain death. Some cite it as recklessness, but a few rare individuals have seen it for what it truly is, and realise it's not what it seems. ■ Strategic. Although it is not always immediately apparent - if apparent at all, there is always a method to her madness, though often she uses the most unconventional strategies. ■ Altruistic. Much of the time, Rai's kindness is hidden behind something that seems purely selfish or self-centred or self-motivated - she's become rather efficient at hiding her true motivations for something, particularly if it's going to make her look too kindhearted or make her look like the good guy in a situation. ■ Trait.

W E A K N E S S ■ Fearless. Her fearlessness has almost gotten her killed more times than anyone is comfortable with. Fairly recently, Darren Fisher saw through her act, and rescued her out in Eureka Anemos when she again nearly got herself killed by being a little too fearless and a little too distracted. ■ Emotionally Compromised. Rai often seems incapable of truly connecting with others on a deep emotional level, and this is largely due to being cut off from her emotions for most of her life, until very recently; out of habit, she continues to act cold and distant, even if that is not entirely the case. ■ Fiercely Independent.
